He graduated from William Horlick High School in Racine, WI, and was an Alumni at Bryant & Stratton. Marcus had a smile that would light up the entire room when he entered. He was a social, active young man who was deeply involved in basketball. He was able to have a positive impact on the community by becoming a coach to a small youth basketball team “ The Clippers” during his adulthood. Another love Marcus had was dancing and listening to music, as this was his regular routine especially before his games. Earl loved to spend quality time with his daughter and interacting with his family and friends. If anyone needed him, he was always a phone call away and if your spirit was down, he was able to be a light on a cloudy day. Earl was formally employed at Valid Kixx as well as Andis Clippers in Racine.
